XLSX is M$ "Open" XML standard for spreadsheets.

Therefore only M$ Excel 2007 will open it.

[ThomasSoerensen]

MS Excel 2007.

Perhaps you need to upgrade?

Older versions can use the new file formats via a converter app or plugin or something... this might be the one.

It's XML innit. It solves* all file format compatibility problems between all applications.

*Yeah right.

There's also a converter for Office for OS X.

I think the problem was that everybody had been saying for years that MS Office file formats were broken, and Microsoft found that they were impossible to fix and had to start again

This is not just XML... this is MS XML

(In other words they managed to cock things up yet again...)
